Bethesda veteran and Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith has done a new interview with PressBoxPR going over his considerable time at the studio: among the topics addressed are why Bethesda shouldn’t switch to Unreal Engine, Todd Howard’s “seagulling” habits, and one bit of deep cut lore that had PCG’s Joshua Wolens despairing.

The Fridge09 mins

The next Sims 4 expansion, Royalty & Legacy, launches next week and the details we’ve seen so far are all to do with family legacy and scandals.

MindsEye was one of the most catastrophic game launches of 2025 but the studio refuses to quit: Its ‘most significant post-launch update’ is now live and an expansion is coming later this year

Overwatch 2 drops the 2 and goes back to being Overwatch as Blizzard launches its biggest update ever next week: ‘We want to gain players’ confidence, we want them to have trust in the game’

The Fridge07 mins

The last thing I expected Blizzard to do was to change the name of Overwatch 2 back to just “Overwatch” four years after it came out. But as announced during the recent Spotlight video, that is exactly what Blizzard’s doing. Most of the sequel’s life has been about earning that 2, so why change it…
